50 fg wager
my: "this story doesn't blow up and is mostly forgotten this same time next week"
we'd have to come up with a neutral method to gauge whether its dead, alive or on life support

open to any taker




Grassley is starting with Jeff sessions tomorrow. I guess we just have to wait and see.

Remember what they said when Mueller's Trump investigation started, first a probe, then ONLY if the probe turns something up, do they move on to the next steps.

How about... if Trump tweets about it's alive? Because I'd wager 50fg he'll tweet about it. I'll get the fg.


I wouldn't be so sure. Put yourself in Trump's shoes.
He wants to get out from under the Mueller investigation and be vindicated, not throw gasoline on it and blow it up. Its generally been the prediction right now that the investigation has turned away from even trying to hit Trump or anyone in the Trump administration and is only at risk of taking down Manafort, Page or Flynn, who are all quite expendable. If Trump knew that the investigation would wrap up to his advantage anyway, he'd just want to get it over sooner. And especially if this story actually gave him real leverage over Mueller if he's compromised.
But if this story goes ahead and compromises Mueller and becomes a major shitfuck in the media, then the inevitable result would be the investigation blowing up one way or another, be it his recusal, firing, falling on his sword suicide, whatever. Is that to Trump's advantage?
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.


However, if wikileaks still has another shoe to drop, if this information came rooted in one of their filedumps like say the huma/weiner emails as our friendly /pol/ larpers would have us believe, we might see big developments in days to come regardless of whether Trump seizes on it.

I think Trump hires people to feed him intelligence like a mob boss, but he's kind of dumb and arrogant and does really stupid things to defend his ego. I think he'd tweet about it and think blowing it up is very smart.

I think he'd tweet about it 20 minutes after reading the hills article while taking a dump tomorrow morning without even considering whether it would blow anything up or not

Hannity was just on a vid, slamming the other major news networks...

/e ...for not discussing what's going on at this time concerning the Uranium One Deal.
I guess he was interviewed on Fox News tonight.


/ee Couldn't get the vid to work on the Fox News site, but here it is...

“Sold out America to the Russians” though, really? No, they worked out a mutually economically beneficially deal that helped the US enrich uranium. None of our uranium stock went to Russia and didn’t come back. They didn’t sell anyone out. They capitalized on an opportunity for individual gain at the taxpayers expense

Actually, Russian businesses in the US now OWN 20% of our weapons grade Uranium.

Pretty transparent attempt at deflection by Trump administration. Not saying there is nothing in the story- haven't analysed it properly just yet - but it's kinda blatantly obvious this is just more of Trump's deflection and whataboutism.

We're at T+24 hours and a congressman is involved and new details with the witness coming forward, and still not a single left leaning MSM article

How is Trump in any way involved with this? You need to finish analyzing it apparently, because the Trump admin didnt dig up this story, journalists and whistleblowers did
